Bed Outlet Questions

[Orange01z28]

Does anyone know if the wiring for the bed outlet exists in JTs that did not come with that outlet stock?

I'm thinking the OEM outlet is probbaly the best solution, but i'm willing to look at other options as well

I used the parts list provided by @Mball488. You need to make sure you already have the inverter option. Not sure if your JT came with it.

I'll figure out whether I had the inverter option or not.

I also have a 6 bank switch panel/relay thing so I could make it work with that I believe. Looks like I got some research to do. THanks

If you don't have the outlet on the back of the center console, then you'll need to find another solution. If the outlet is there, then the wiring may exist to follow the other threads and add the bed outlet.

Ok, I don't have that, so it looks like i'll be designing this from ground up

You can order the factory piece to install the outlet in the bed. You will need to install an inverter and do the wiring to make it all work.

Yup

I'm reading some old threads now

Thanks

Ive been down this road. Get the bed outlet (make sure you dont get the european one), and the pigtail that goes from it to the wiring harness. Now install an invertor under the dash in the framing (panel behind the steering wheel). Use the connector to install a switch.
The stock invertor is like 400W, not much to do anything. Im putting the outlet in the bed, running my own wiring up the chassis to an external invertor of around 1500W, and wire it to the batt power. Plan is to dump the baby batt (ESS) and put invertor there, then install a deep cycle in a dual batt system in the engine bay w isolator, and wire the invertor to that second batt. Then a wiring run back to the outlet.

Just remember that 1500W is 125 amps at 12 volts. Watts is volts times amps and amps is watts divided by volts.

Ok, so Im hooking a 600-700 amp batt to an invertor, which will give 110 volt AC back to the plug.
